Turing's vision : the birth of computer science

by Chris Bernhardt

An introduction to Alan Turing's foundational 1936 paper on the theory of computation. The text analyses the mathematical origins of modern computer science for general readers, exploring Turing machines, universal machines, and the concept of undecidability.

From publisher's blurb: To explain Turing’s ideas, Bernhardt examines three well-known decision problems to explore the concept of undecidability; investigates theoretical computing machines, including Turing machines; explains universal machines; and proves that certain problems are undecidable, including Turing’s problem concerning computable numbers.
